I never feel lonely if I’ve got a book – they’re like old friends. Even if
you’re not reading them over and over again, you know they are there. And
they’re part of your history. They sort of tell a story about your journey
through life.

Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted;
the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the
voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil
to triumph.

If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of
the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you
say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.
